Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing
is the official journal of the
American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. It is devoted to the
exchange of ideas and information about the applications of photogrammetry,
remote sensing, and geographic information systems. The technical activities of
the Society are conducted through the following Technical Divisions: Geographic
Information Systems, Photogrammetric Applications, Lidar, Primary Data
Acquisition, Professional Practice, and Remote Sensing Applications. Additional
information on the functioning of the Technical Divisions and the Society can
be found in the Yearbook issue of
PE&RS.

The image showcased on the cover was captured with the Phase One Industrial 190MP
Aerial system. iXU-RS1900 with built-in dual RS 90mm lenses, a solution delivering
large format functionality.
Captured in the USA, the image was taken with a flight at an altitude of 4,490ft
(1,369m) and at 125kts speed, a GSD of 7cm was achieved. The camera’s settings
were as follow: ISO 100, shutter speed 1/1250s, aperture f/5.6.
Flying at speed of 125 kts, the passing jet aircraft below, who was flying in the opposite
direction, can be seen clearly, negating the need for conventional FMC.
The innovative 190MP aerial system, in cooperation with leading partners stabilized
mount design, positioning and Flight Management Systems, demonstrated excellent
data results that offer faster, more detailed, large format coverage.
Luis Viveros, Americas Technical Manager for Phase One, expressed “The power and
quality that comes from such a compact system will save our customers time and improve
data collection efficiency, along with the compatibility it offers for a wide range of flying
platforms. The resulting data showed images with greater area coverage and high spatial
resolution. Ground footprints of 230 acres per frame were collected achieving 7cm GSD,
at a flight height of 4,500ft, using a single engine Cessna 206” said Viveros. “Also, the
system proved the ability to acquire images with a GSD of 2cm at a flight height of
1,300ft, and still be able to trigger fast enough to obtain 80% of overlap, with a capture
rate of less than one second.” This capacity is the result of the combination of the high
stereoscopic accuracy introduced with the large inline FOV of the new system, and the
Reliance Shutter technology already present in Phase One Industrial aerial cameras.
At the heart of the fully integrated 190MP Aerial System is the iXU-RS1900 camera.
It features two CMOS sensors and two 90mm lenses for capturing RGB information.
Key imaging attributes include a small pixel size (4.6 μm), large image area (16,470 x
11,540), high image capture rate of 0.6 sec and exposure time of up to 1/2000 sec. The
Gyro Stabilized Camera mount used was the SOMAG DSM400, with a low weight of
14 kg and high payload of 35 kg, the mount provides optimal stabilization of the system
and allows a high-efficient and precise image capturing at any flight conditions.
An optional 4-band configuration, adding a 50 mm lens for capturing NIR information,
provides 4-band (RGB, NIR) imagery. Integrated iX Capture software automatically
generates distortion-free images and automatically performs an accurate matching of
the NIR and RGB images. The Phase One 190MP 4-Band is offered with two GNSS-
Inertial Position and Orientation System options, Applanix POS AVX 210 or POS AV 510.
Designed with input from engineers and leading experts in the photogrammetric field
to address a wide variety of challenging aerial applications, the enhanced productivity
and expanded coverage makes it an ultimate solution for diverse aerial survey
applications such as mapping, 3D City modeling, remote sensing, precision agriculture,
disaster management and monitoring.
The 190MP Aerial System presents an attractive alternative to other traditionally
expensive large format cameras.
